Snowdrops

Snowdrops are quite possibly my favourite flower. They are springs advance bloom along with Hellebore they will flower with snow on the ground. My Snowdrops were out in full force earlier this month.

Sadly I have only found one Snowdrop stamp but it is the perfect image and does come out at this time of year. Yesterday during my crafting binge I made this postcard.

Snowdrops stamped I made a mask with quite a bit of fussy cutting to allow the background to peep through. Mask in place my stencil placed sunshine yellow dusted over it. The mask removed the image coloured with felt tip pens. Next 4 or 5 different shades of DI were dusted over the edges of the card. I did consider putting the mask back and stamping the snowdrops again "behind" the first image. Then the solution hit me drops of water onto the dusted background. By now the stencil marks were looking a little faded so I went over them with a yellow felt tip pen. Finally some glossy accents on the 4 foremost flowers.

There were a couple of challenges in mind for this one.
